10.1 Where can I find Material Safety Data Sheets? (Chemistry)
Most suppliers of chemicals will provide a MSDS on request if you are a
customer. Several major chemical suppliers have combined their own MSDS
sheets and issued major compilations, eg Sigma-Aldrich [1] ( available on
CD-ROM or Magnetic Tape for $1,650), which may be available in the
